|
To generate a \b Pipe in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>New Entity - > Generation - > Extrusion along a path</b>
|
|

|
|
|
\n Firstly, to create an extruded \b Pipe shape, you can define the <b>Base
|
2008-03-07 12:45:34 +05:00
|
|
|
Object</b> (vertex, edge, planar wire, face or shell), which will be extruded
|
|
|
|
|
and the <b>Path Object</b> (edge or wire) along which the <b>Base
|
|
|
|
|
Object</b> will be extruded.
|
2009-02-13 17:16:39 +05:00
|
|
|
\n In this mode the default pipe generation algorithm is used. The pipe
|
2009-02-20 18:50:52 +05:00
|
|
|
is created so that the <b>angle between the normal vector</b> to
|
|
|
|
|
the base shape <b>and the tangent to the path</b> wire remains constant at any point of the
|
|
|
|
|
given path.
|
|
|
|
|
\n <b>Select unpublished edges</b> checkbox - if checked, allows to select an edge of any other shape as the path object.
|
2008-03-07 12:45:34 +05:00
|
|
|
\n The \b Result of the operation will be a GEOM_Object (edge, face, shell,
|
|
|
|
|
solid or compsolid).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePipe(baseShape, pathShape)</em>
|
|
|
|
|
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 shape (vertex, edge, planar wire, face or
|
|
|
|
|
shell) serving as base object + 1 shape (edge or wire) for
|
|
|
|
|
definition of the path.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\n Secondly, you can define the <b>Base
|
|
|
|
|
Object</b> (edge, planar wire or face), which will be extruded,
|
|
|
|
|
the <b>Path Object</b> (edge or wire) along which the <b>Base
|
2009-02-20 18:50:52 +05:00
|
|
|
Object</b> will be extruded and the <b>BiNormal Vector</b> (edge or
|
|
|
|
|
wire).
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-02-13 17:16:39 +05:00
|
|
|
\n In contrast to the default mode, in this mode the pipe is generated
|
2009-02-20 18:50:52 +05:00
|
|
|
to preserve the constant <b>angle between the normal vector</b> to the base
|
|
|
|
|
shape <b>and the BiNormal vector</b> given as the third argument.
|
|
|
|
|
\n <b>Select unpublished edges</b> checkbox - if checked, allows to select an edge of any other shape as the path object.
|
2009-02-13 17:16:39 +05:00
|
|
|
\n The \b Result of the operation will be a GEOM_Object (edge, face, shell,
|
|
|
|
|
solid or compsolid).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakePipeBiNormalAlongVector(baseShape, pathShape, binormalShape)</em>
|
|
|
|
|
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 shape (edge, planar wire or face)
|
|
|
|
|
serving as base object + 1 shape (edge or wire) for
|
|
|
|
|
definition of the path + 1 shape (edge or wire) to set a fixed
|
|
|
|
|
BiNormal direction to perform the extrusion.
